That doesn't change unless you move the on demand heater closer to where you use hot water the most. They can fit in a closet.
The savings is definitely there and is a no brainer for second homes. PGANE offers $300 rebate for installing a propane water heater in a new home or replacing an oil or electric water heater. It takes 4-8 weeks for check to arrive, but I know many people who have received them, including myself.
I have the form if anyone needs it.

What is the PGANE $300 rebate? I had Rymes install a Rinnai and never received a rebate. I disconnected my 40 gallon hot water tank as I had been keeping the hot water heater on all winter for the kids to use whenever they came up for a weekend during the winter. I am happy with the performance. The only complaint is that periodically the water may cool down for a brief period while you shower. I leave heat on all winter so I do not drain the unit. Also I use Integrated water Systems for my water softener service for a unit they installed. The cost for each visit is $140 which seems high, even though it only be a 15-20 minute adjustment. I would like to change to Cullinane. Does anyone have experience with them
